When someone has sexual encounters or thoughts more often than normal. Many confuse this with being perverted but the difference is those who are [hypersexual] find difficulty in not thinking this way. Not having an intentional perverted mindset. People can become hypersexual due to highly depressing or emotionally stunting experiences. They become more eager as a distraction and quick high. In the same sense how some go to drugs when they are down. People often try to [romanticize] this by saying they just have daddy or [mommy issues] instead of trying to fix it through seeking help.
